Several new episodes will be airing in the United Kingdom during a June 3rd - June 7th premiere week. Several scenes from Gary's Got Legs can be seen in this promo here, although it is not in the premiere week:

I really hope that the show continues with this consistently good quality. All of the episodes here are fun and filled with energy and jokes, Insecurity Guards especially is the makings of a modern classic. Overall grade is about 7.3/10

"Donning his famous lifeguard attire, Hasselhoff guests as himself in the special, where he runs into a little trouble in an ocean kayak and on the beach. Hasselhoff also notably played himself in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. His return is a special nod to his original performance for fans around the world.

"I experienced the world of SpongeBob first-hand when I appeared in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, which was an amazing experience," said Hasselhoff. "After making that cameo, kids around the world recognized me from the movie. How awesome to now come back to be part of the 20th anniversary special. I got to interact with Tom Kenny and SpongeBob. It also was a heartwarming tribute to Steve Hillenburg. Happy 20th SpongeBob. Hooray!!"

New season 12 rankings (will update when this Nicktoons UK premiere week will be finished)

Farmerbob - 9/10 (Despite having story to be just an excuse for the string of gags, this episode is genuinely hilarious for me. And since this show is primarily comedy I can let this slide, because bits like "barn-itzva" scene, aliens and "I HOPE THIS TRIP LASTS FOREVER" are really good pieces of comedy, imo. Of course I can see why some don't care for this episode that much, since it doesn't really offer that much in anything besides comedy and if you not a fan of it, there's not much to it otherwise.)

The Nitwitting - 3/10 (This episode is more boring to me than anything else.)

The Ballad of Filthy Muck - 6/10 (This episode has few genuinely funny jokes, great ending and song, but otherwise is kind of... there.)

The Krusty Slammer - 8/10 (Fairly entertaining story with few laugh out loud moments make into fairly enjoyable episode. This episode also features probably one of the most natural incorporation of various references to previous episodes, which is also a big plus.)

King Plankton - 10/10 (Really creative and funny episode, not much to say besides that, almost everyone love it for a reason.)

Stormy Weather - 8/10 (Very cute if somewhat unfocused episode sprinkled with some genuinely funny moments through out. SpongeBob's characterization is strong in this one. Also, new character, Gale Doppler, is genuinely fun antagonist to SB, I hope he will return sometime like Rube did.)

The Krusty Bucket - 10/10 (One of my personal favorites from entire post-sequel. Lawrence turned cliched cartoons clone trope into something genuinely interesting and engaging. Krabs/Plankton team-up was unexpected and done really well, they have a great chemistry. New villain was also fairly interesting break from the norm in best way possible. Biggest surprise of the season so far, since I didn't expected much from it.)

Sandy's Nutty Nieces - 8/10 (I expected this ep to be okay at best, comedy was surprisingly solid, SpongeBob's characterization was on-point and Patrick was surprisingly funny here. Nieces themselves were.... fine, I haven't found them annoying, but I can see why some be annoyed by them.)

Insecurity Guards - 10/10 (This episode honestly feels like modern classic. Every joke hits, new location is superbly designed and feels unique, characterization is on-point, animation is gorgeous. This episode is probably one of my contenders of post-sequel favorites, it was THAT good.)
